Lagos gives clarifications on TESCOM teachers’ recruitment exercise

The Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has denied a purported circular emanating from it and asking some categories of graduates to visit the Tescom Office with their Certificates and CV for employment.

In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by the Chairman of TESCOM, Olabisi Ariyo, the body said no such directive was given, and therefore urged people to disregard it.

The statement read in part: “Graduates of CRS, History, IRS, Yoruba, Physics, Chemistry can visit the Old Secretariat, Alausa Lagos, Tescom Office with their Certificates and CV for employment”.

“The Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) wishes to categorically state that the information is FAKE and was not issued by the Commission.

“For avoidance of doubt, the Public is hereby informed that TESCOM Teachers’ Recruitment is strictly based on the Online Registration and this is strictly adhered to.  The Public should also note that requests for “Certificates and CV” for employment are NOT a criteria. More so, Recruitment of Teachers’ for Year 2021 is CLOSED.

“I wish to state that the statement was shared via social media to create confusion and other reasons best known to the perpetrators.

“TESCOM enjoins the general public to ignore the statement and be assured that it will always make official announcements, where necessary, especially as it involves Teachers’ Recruitments.
